HALIFAX -- An inquiry into decades of abuse at a Nova Scotia orphanage for black children is expected to submit its final report today. 

For the past four years, the unusual restorative inquiry has been exploring what happened at the infamous Nova Scotia Home for Colored Children in Halifax.

 Its report will recount the grim experiences of former residents and recommend ways to deal with systemic racism throughout the province.
